The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

On August 8, the last day of the Imperial Capital Auction, the entrance of Longtengju was crowded with people, and the scene was no worse than the first day.

Several young masters and young ladies in charge of reception from the four major families also returned to the entrance of Longtengju to welcome guests and receive the distinguished guests who arrived one after another.

But Meng Yu, who seemed to be receiving the guests honestly, had already started swearing in his heart.

He has never been good at hiding his inner thoughts. When Ye Yingqi saw the boy's smile that was uglier than crying, a hint of bitterness appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Sister Nan, are we really going to welcome guests together with this witch? She didn't even show up on the first day of the auction, so why is she thinking of helping us share the burden today?"

The direction of Meng Yu's words was too obvious, and he did not shy away from mentioning the protagonist in his words. He just asked Wu Nan without hesitation.

That's right, today at the door of Longtengju, in addition to Ye Yingqi, Wu Nan, Gu Yue and Meng Yu, there was also Zhou Zhiyu, the third daughter of the Zhou family, who was always called a "witch" by Meng Yu. It was not known whether she had a change of heart or had other intentions, but she actually joined the four-person welcoming team in a dignified manner, and stood at the door in an orderly manner to receive the guests who arrived one after another.

When Zhou Zhiyu heard what Meng Yu said, he simply rolled his eyes toward the sky in provocation. Unusually, he did not care about Young Master Meng's words. Instead, the smile on his lips widened a little.

"What could be the reason? It's because Patriarch Zhou's words are so effective. Otherwise, how could Miss Zhiyu, who is used to looking down on others, condescend to do this kind of welcoming work? Not to mention being with a few of us."

Seeing that Zhou Zhiyu had no reaction to Meng Yu's words, Wu Nan sneered and spoke in an extremely exaggerated tone.

Zhou Zhiyu only felt the blue veins on his forehead throbbing wildly for a few times. After trying hard to smooth out his somewhat rapid breathing for a while, he responded to the words of several people for the first time in a relatively calm tone.

"Don't overthink it. I'm here to help you because of what my father said, but I'm here to help you share the pressure of entertaining guests."

Wu Nan looked at Zhou Zhiyu with a little surprise, as he hadn't lost his temper yet. His eyebrows raised, he secretly wondered what Zhou Zhiyu's real intention was.

"I still don't like you guys now. Even so, I still hope that you guys can maintain the appearance of being one family on the last day of the auction, and don't let the guests laugh at us."

When she said these words, the four people next to her looked at her in surprise, as if she had been possessed by someone else and reborn. They looked her up and down several times before stopping.

Ah? With Zhou Zhiyu's personality, she could actually say something like "considering the overall situation". Could it be that some time traveler's soul had traveled through time and space and her personality had changed drastically?

"Zhou Zhiyu, were you poisoned today? Or did you take the wrong medicine?"

Gu Yue, who was always gentle and polite in his speech and treatment of others, never overstepped the mark. However, when he spoke to Zhou Zhiyu, he actually spoke with a hint of concern in his tone.

In fact, Zhou Zhiyu's personality has never had anything to do with the overall situation, so it's hard not to suspect that she was coerced or had lost her memory due to illness.

Since they were all sick, Gu Yue felt it was normal for him to show some concern out of humanitarian concern. After all, the relationships between the children of the four major families needed to be maintained. Even if he was doing it for outsiders to see, he couldn't let others find any fault.

"Mr. Gu, if you want to know if I have been bewitched or if I have taken the wrong medicine, come to my place tonight and I will tell you in secret."

After Zhou Zhiyu dealt with the guests in front of him, he scratched Gu Yue's palm a few times with ambiguous movements, and the suggestive meaning in his words was almost ready to burst out.

Gu Yue was so shocked by Zhou Zhiyu's actions that his hair stood on end. He subconsciously moved to the side and avoided Zhou Zhiyu's restless hand.

Just treat his kindness as a waste! The third daughter of the Zhou family has not changed at all! His humanitarian concern is really in vain!

He is a mysophobe and he doesn't want to have any contact with this witch who is not picky about food at all!

Meng Yu and Wu Nan looked at Gu Yue with glee as he had delivered himself to be teased by Witch Zhou. Although Ye Yingqi was also happy to watch the show, he still considered the overall situation and asked Gu Yue to switch places with him.

These guys are so playful that he has to sacrifice himself.

Naturally, Gu Yue would not let go of Ye Yingqi's kindness, and he readily took the original position of the eldest son of the Ye family, watching Ye Yingqi walk to Zhou Zhiyu and stand next to him with a fearless look on his face.

How could Young Master Ye be afraid of such a bluffing witch? In the past, this witch should have been afraid of him, the next head of the Ye family who was arrogant and domineering.

Zhou Zhiyu looked at Ye Yingqi with a playful look as he walked over to stand next to him. Just as he was about to tease the eldest son of the Ye family, he didn't expect that Ye Yingqi would take the initiative.

"Zhou Zhiyu, I have no objection to what you want to do, but you'd better think about the consequences of your actions first. I'm not that kid from the Gu family who is easy to bully."

It has to be said that although Zhou Zhiyu just wanted to take advantage of the eldest son of the Ye family with words, he was indeed reminded by the words of the eldest son of the Ye family.

Today was not a good time for hunting in the first place, and the Ye family threatened her with his past reputation. She was not a fool, so she naturally had to be careful with her words.

"Hehe, your Ye family is quite interesting, unlike the Gu family, who are too boring and not funny at all."

Zhou Zhiyu took back the teasing words that were about to come out of his mouth and changed his words to something else.

Gu Yue's cheeks twitched as he gave a dry laugh, and he replied dryly, "Thank you Miss Zhou for the compliment, and thank you Miss Zhou for your love. I have been boring for a long time, and I will be boring in the future, so I won't bother you."

Not only was he arguing with Ye Yingqi, but he was also going to take himself with him even though he had already escaped from the battlefield?

Does Zhou Zhiyu have any moral principles? He didn't even bother with her excessive provocation just now, okay?

"Whether I am interesting or not is none of your business."

Although Ye Yingqi was still smiling, his eyes had turned cold.

"I am not as picky as you are. There are many women who love me, and I will not blindly pick the worst one."

When did Ye Yingqi get the chance to be coveted by this witch? Was Zhou the witch worthy?!

"... Mr. Ye, you'd better remember what you said today. Don't wait until the day when the Ye family is in decline and you have to beg me for help!"

Of course Zhou Zhiyu understood Ye Yingqi's insults to her, but she did not confront him in public. Instead, she whispered a reminder in his ear. The threat and warning were self-evident.

"Don't say that my Ye family is now in its heyday. Even if I really have nowhere to go one day, I won't ask for help from you, the third daughter of the Zhou family who can't make any decisions."

Ye Yingqi glanced at Zhou Zhiyu who was speaking rudely, and there was a hint of confrontation in his words.

The other people watched the two people interacting with great interest, but they did not delay the business of entertaining the guests.

Brother Yingqi is serious! It's going to be a good show!
